EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Snakes in India" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich wildlife and cultural tapestry of this vibrant country. The engraving showcases an array of snakes coiled amidst a chaotic scene on an Indian roadside. Intriguingly, we see a police sepoy standing guard nearby, highlighting the potential danger these reptiles pose to passersby. A native sandal lies abandoned on the ground, perhaps left behind by someone fleeing from the venomous cobra slithering menacingly close. The image also captures other elements of Indian life: an Indian crow perched atop a house observing the unfolding drama and snake charmers attempting to combat these creatures with their mesmerizing skills. From a top view perspective, we witness floods engulfing parts of India's landscape as people grapple with both natural calamities and encounters with dangerous animals. Amongst various species depicted is the Echis carinata or ringed snake, known for its venomous bite that can have severe consequences if not treated promptly. This artwork serves as a reminder of Asia's diverse reptile population while shedding light on how Indians navigate their coexistence with such creatures. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges associated with wildlife in India during that era.
